The War On Rural Residents

It may slow down, but it never stops. The use of government regulations to force people off the land and into the cities. Latest example, the Gunnison Sage Grouse. Here is a better explanation than I can give.

Travel around in "flyover country" and you will see the dying and dead towns where people are hanging on, or squatting (Farley, N.M. for example). The small farms and ranch families that the towns depended on are gone, forced out by various regulations imposed by government functionaries with no skin in the game. Can't have all those independent people not relying on some government dole, now can we? Too hard to control, don't you know.

I don't want to get started on the USFS but probably will in a future rant.

USFS like many of the other government entities like, the EPA, FCC NEA, are avenues where politicians can enforce policies that would never see the light of day via any legislation in congress. If it isn't stopped, we're doomed!

What ends up is a playground for those with the money enough to enjoy. I think of Luna Lake in the Mt. Zirkle Wilderness area that still has scars from a Sierra Club gathering in the mid 1960's.

I could live there, and fight the BLM. Just don't make me live in Wamsutter.
